Guyyysss, I think I’m officially exhausted from marketing 😭. Over the past few weeks, I’ve tried pretty much everything I could think of. Posted on LinkedIn. Posted on Instagram. Posted on TikTok.
Result? Lots of impressions. Almost no users.
Tried Reddit. Banned.
Tried Hacker News. Flagged.
At some point it starts feeling less like marketing and more like getting rejected by the entire internet 💀. The frustrating part is that I genuinely believe the product solves a real problem. It basically checks suspicious websites, emails, phone numbers, and crypto wallets and helps identify potential scam or risk signals before people trust them. The idea came from seeing how difficult it has become to tell what's legitimate online anymore.
A website can look professional.
An email can look convincing.
A wallet can seem completely normal.
And people have no easy way to check. So that's what I've been working on. Ironically, creating it felt easier than getting people to notice it 😭. For now, I've honestly stopped marketing for a bit. Not because I want to quit, Just because constantly posting, launching, getting ignored, getting flagged, getting banned, and repeating the cycle is mentally exhausting.
If you've been through this stage before, I'd genuinely love to hear how you got past it. And would love to hear some genuine advices from you guys!
I’m in a very similar situation right now, so I understand this.
I recently launched an app too, and building it was one challenge, but getting people to notice it is a completely different one. You can post everywhere, get some impressions but still feel not much is really happening.
Everyone is competing for attention, so you have to be really creative with your approach.
But I really hope you keep going. The problem you’re solving seems like a genuinely useful one.
Honestly, hearing this from someone who's going through the same thing helps a lot :)
I think the part that surprised me most is that building the product felt way more predictable than getting people to discover it. and yeah, the attention economy is brutal 💀 so what kind of app did you launch, and have you found any channels that brought even a small amount of real users so far?
